Created by Kevmin (talk). Self-nominated at 17:19, 12 March 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Okanagrion; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• Article is new enough and long enough. The article is well-sourced, neutral, and BLP-compliant. Earwig looks good. The images are freely licensed, and the hook image is used in the article and clear at a smaller size. Both QPQs have been done. I've marked one paragraph as needing a citation and in the subsection for Okanagrion liquetoalatum, there is a paragraph without any citations and a species missing where I've placed a clarification tag. I was unsure about the phrase in the lead "attributed to high latitude high alpha diversity", but maybe it just needs a comma? I also wondered if "Tranquille Formations McAbee Fossil Beds" shouldn't be "Traquille Formation's McAbee Fossil Beds". The hooks are interesting. I couldn't find verification for the first one, but I'm prepared to accept it in good faith. gobonobo ^{+ c} 22:53, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

@Gobonobo: I corrected the missing citation and the missing species that you noted, added the needed apostrophe for "Tranquille Formation's". As for alpha diversity, its high Alpha diversity at a high latitude with corresponding high beta diversity due to low seasonality so it means more species in a small space during Ypresian in the highlands then one sees in the same region now.--Kevmin § 18:12, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

@Kevmin: Thank you for the explanation, clarification, and fixes. This looks good now. gobonobo ^{+ c} 18:56, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

@Kevmin: is it possible to write a more accessible hook? For me, both hooks are somewhat unintelligble because I don't know what "the Eocene Okanagan Highlands" or "alpha and beta diversity drivers" are. If it is not possible, are there any viable links we could include? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:00, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Links for Eocene Okanagan Highlands (a northwestern north American Lagerstätten), Alpha diversity, and Beta diversity (measures of species richness in areas) will be easier in a hook length.--Kevmin § 18:09, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
